back to school

hii, this week was my first week of school! this year, i'm in my second year of university (L2). i study art history and archaeology in Paris. (i will post some of my personal work soon, as well as some cool stuff i learn and find interesting from my point of view).

i started at 8:30am on monday, but i don't live in Paris, so i had to take the train at 7:30am.. i was soo tired on my way home that i fell asleep. sorry, but all summer i was in bed at like 1:00am sooo.. it's just a habit i have to get rid of.

my first class was about "les grandes questions de l'histoire de l'art". basically, it's historiography. not that fun. but the prof was pretty cool. and i'm so happy because we will only have one graded assignment! it will be a 45-minute oral presentation... HELP. at least, we can prepare it at home beforehand... and i'm not alone in doing it! (normally, i prefer working by myself, but having a friend isn't that bad). a girl asked to work with me and it's actually really cool!

my next lessons were geography and archaeology. normally, i don't really like geography, but this course was pretty interesting. it was more like geopolitics than just map analysis or demography... then i had African archaeology... but i'm a bit disappointed. it's the only course about Africa, and they are mixing too many subjects together at the same time. we will talk about the first civilizations, some contemporary art, and culture?? it's too much for only one semester, and i think it's necessary to take more time or just focus the course on archaeology. it's the only course we have about African art, and it's already goofy. the professor isn't even specialized in Africa... and on top of that, she's a substitute.

anyway, the rest of the week was good. i'm just sooo tireeed. and to stay motivated, i started my journeys with some Earth, Wind & Fire!! add to this, i ate my blueberry cake on my way to school hehe.

all week, my professors scared me with so much work, exams (yes, already), and also new methods, etc., that i forgot i had to buy new things for back to school:

first, i definitely need new joggers (a black pair and a grey pair), a notebook, maybe a bento box and a water bottle, and some candles. for a big part of this, i need to go to Muji.

since this year seems pretty complicated, i really want to romanticize it. i already did it last year, but to SURVIVE, i need more. first, coffee and coffee shops. it is really one of the big parts of my college student life. i just love drinking a good coffee or tea in a beautiful place. listening to good music and the autumn atmosphere help a lot too. it is just so cozy. and to finish, i think i will say Harry Potter. YES. it is very helpful to imagine being at Hogwarts and not at university lol.

and i started dance!! the courses are so cool. i'm so happy to try something new and to continue even if it's complicated.

i want to bring a cool vibe to this school year. i really want to be even more curious, enterprising, and spontaneous!

sorry this article is a bit busy, but i promise i will be more applied next time. i will do some updates even if the rhythm will be rapidly intense i promise! see you soon! .ೃ࿐
